Puncture, the problem is that the sidewall aren't meant to come in contact with the tarmac, especially when cornering and get cut up quite easily, we had a fair numbers of customers finding this out the hard way because the Trek road bike have wide rims as standard, the remedy for this is naturally a bigger contis that have slightly less of a U shape.
Durano are decent tyres and have a reasonably tough sidewall, the Durano Plus is possibly the toughest road tyres you can get, but not comfortable at all according to my ex colleague.

The AW range sounds pretty decent Ed. Nice touch on the 'aerowing'
I am quite tempted by the durano plus they sound good but definitely porky. 125 grams heavier than the Contis.
@edscoble The problem with more exposed sidewalls is greater puncture potential? Or not good for the rims?
